It’s become an annual tradition that has the whole region talking, and the Halloween House is back in 2023.
Held on the corner of Edwards and Darwin Streets in Ayr, the annual Halloween Party is hosted by Leon McCormack and Jeff Lunn who have been decorating their house for Halloween for six years and for Christmas since 2007.
“Each year we do a big Christmas display, so people suggested we do Halloween as well,” said Leon.
“One year we did it and we were just astounded with the number of people who turned up.
“Before we were doing the party thing, we’d be running the lights and we’d come out and people would be here, so we’d be chatting to them and hand out candy canes, so then we thought we’d do popcorn and snow cones, and it grew from there.”
“It just gets bigger every year,” added Jeff.
“Normally we get about 200 people turn up.”
Leon and Jeff started setting up the lights display at the start of October and will run it for the week leading up to October 31.
They said they enjoy bringing the Halloween spirit to the region, particularly appreciating the effort and creativity of costumes.
“Some of the families who come with their kids, it’s amazing to see how much effort they put in,” said Jeff.
The family friendly event will feature a sausage sizzle provided by the Home Hill - Ayr Lions Club as well as free popcorn, fairy floss and snow cones.
